27. Twenty-Six

“Can you believe it’s the wedding next week?” Niall said excitedly as we arrived for our final suit fittings. We all smiled, shocked that it had come round so quickly. But we were all looking forward to it. I for one was looking forward to seeing Sofie in her bridesmaid dress, make-up done to accentuate her gorgeous chocolate eyes and her hair looking amazing as it always does. My name being called woke me from my day dream and I smiled, taking my suit and disappearing into the changing room.

Niall had gone for some gorgeous suits, beautifully cut. They were pale grey and came with a waistcoat and cravat. We all looked rather dapper and I’m sure when the day arrives, the girls won’t complain either. Of course the day wouldn’t be about us, it’d be about Nat and Niall. He was ecstatic, you only had to look at him to see it. He’d asked us all to say a little something at the reception, Greg being the one with the biggest part since he was the best man. I’d been working on mine and I’d done my best to make it short and totally sweet.

We’d all been fitted, it was just Niall left now. We always said he looked the best in a suit, don’t ask me why but he seemed to just pull it off. And when he stepped out, I think all of us were a little shocked at just how good he did look, Nat was a lucky girl!

Bring on the weekend, Niall’s birthday followed by his wedding. Surrounded by everyone we know and love... it can’t be bad at all!

All of us stood in awe at Nat in her dress, it was her final fitting. Even now it took our breath away so Niall will be in for a real shock when he sees her coming towards him. I was looking forward to seeing Liam in his suit, yeah I’d seen him in a tux but never ever seen him in a suit for a wedding, they were always smarter I thought. I hadn’t let Liam see my dress either... anyone would think it was us getting married.

All the preparations had gotten me wondering if me and Liam would ever marry, I wasn’t expecting it now or anything, but sometime in the future... would I become Mrs Payne?! It would be a total dream come true!

I shrugged all those thoughts off, I was happy either way, our day would come. It was Nat’s day first, and I’m so happy I’m a part of it. Roll on next week!!
